Who would have imagined that one day, I would have a baby and be moving overseas. Okay, well, I imagined it. And then it happened. We have been in China for exactly 2 weeks with Baby E. It is incredible how time moves so quickly! In some ways it feels like we never left… but I’m getting ahead of myself. I want to tell you … Continue reading 24 Hours and Then Some
If you are closely following our lives, which I am sure you are not, you know that we are in limbo. We are waiting for Nicholas’ new school to get his work permit from the Chinese government. We are quite anxious that it will happen this week because we would really like to move already. Most of our belongings are packed into a few suitcases. … Continue reading Absurdity

We are learning so much about a … Continue reading Famous Last Words
Alright, nothing much to report here. We lost our first contract in Korea, due to the fact that our paperwork wasn’t complete.

The most difficult thing during this time is … Continue reading And Now We Wait…
